Is it good drinking a protein shake before going to bed?

Answer 1

while sleeping, we stay without food for at least 8 hours and our body gets in a catabolic stage...so it is important that before bed we give some protein to our body..but it is better that the protein is not fast absorbed but slowly absorbed so we have amino-acids through our body during the whole night and not the first 2-3 hours(that's how long takes for whey to be absorbed)...if your protein shake is with casein protein then it's ok..or you can better have some cottage cheese that also contains casein(slowly absorbed protein)...
